Police in Owerri, the Imo State capital,
yesterday rescued 17 pregnant teenagers from an illegal motherless babies’
home. The home, Ahamefula Motherless Babies’ Home, located in Umuaka, Njaba
Local Government Area of the state, is allegedly owned by a middle-aged woman
simply identified as ‘Madam One Thousand’.
Also rescued from the home after the police raid
on the ‘baby factory’ were 11 children waiting to be sold to prospective
buyers. The expectant girls, whose ages range between 14 and 17 years were said
to have been impregnated by a 23-year-old boy simply identified as Oyibo.
The girls, who looked pale and unkempt, are at
various stages of pregnancy. The pregnant teenagers wept profusely during their
parade at the Police Command Headquarters in Owerri.
The state Commissioner of Police, Musa Mohammed
Katsina, told journalists that the illegal home was raided by the Ambush Squad
after a tipoff. Katsina said that the proprietor, who is now at large, was
producing sachet water in the compound to deceive the public about what was
actually going on in the home.
The commissioner added that when the police invaded
the tightly secured compound, “17 pregnant minors were seen holed up in
different rooms in the large compound with some of their kids playing around.”
The police also paraded Oyibo, who confessed to
be responsible for all the pregnancies and a 55-year-old security man, Mr.
Uzoamaka Okoli, from Nempi Amafor in Oru West Local Government.
